Icahn, in Filing, Pushes for Sale of Blockbuster
- Share via
Carl C. Icahn, who has been feuding with the management of Blockbuster Inc. for several weeks, said the big movie-rental chain should be sold.
Icahn, Blockbuster’s largest single shareholder, made the comment in a one-sentence filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A Blockbuster spokesman said the Dallas-based company would be open to offers. Icahn’s comment came one day after Blockbuster Chief Executive John Antioco called Icahn’s criticism of the company “inaccurate and potentially misleading.”
